The artworks Girl Before a Mirror by Picasso and Reptiles by MC Escher have both simple and intricate similarities and differences. Girl Before a Mirror is an oil painting done in 1932.

The lithograph is also in black and white and three dimensional

The title also suggests that the narrator wants a life without men‚ showing she wants control. The poem juxtaposes the order of the seasons to show how this affects the narrator’s desperation to keep control. The structure of this poem is consistent.

The second reading “Land of Smoke and Mirrors: The Meaning of Punishment and Control” explores the educational setting and likens it to a prison by enclosing students and supervising them to produce docile students who are unable to think for themselves.
